Yeah, I was too lazy to read through the entire thread.

ePSXe is an awesome program. If you still have your discs you can pop them into your CD/DVD drive and emulate them from there. The only thing that sucks about emulating PlayStation (at least with ePSXe) is that you usually have to configure your video and audio drivers ad nauseam to get your games to work sans glitches. I finally got FF9 to run perfectly (very recently), but it was no easy task! It's just a lot of trial and error, but it's worth it.

Uploaded finished track to the server. Been spending a lot of time trying to find workarounds to improve it while keeping CPU at an acceptable level, and I consistently run into dead ends. It's just way too frustrating with only half a gig of RAM and an overall shitty computer.

I'm so relieved. My doctor told me that if I didn't stop sequencing, I would get severe arthritis within 48 hours. I was crushed, until I found this. Now I can make faster, much more efficient musics with no looming fear of gimp hands. Thanks, Remixanator!

John Murphy - Sunshine OST

Very nice. I feel like your drums could be boosted a tad. Great arrangement and overall songwriting though... The string accompaniment gives it some nice atmosphere. The count is 9/4 by the way EDIT: I would also like to hear some more processing on the vocals. Maybe some wet reverb, HP delays, and some phasing on a few of the sustained notes would give it some serious pop methinks.

It's one of two things: 1. Your link isn't inverted. Go back to the "Link to controller..." menu and make sure the type is inverted (drop down menu, bottom of GUI) 2. The volume (base I think) on your actual peak controller should be at about 50 or higher. Any lower and it will raise your levels or just won't drop them all the way if you do have your link inverted. Hope that helps.

Chamber music? Liek with harpsichords and what not?

Full draft up: http://soundcloud.com/aarondmusic/hurry-12b Weeded out some of the clipping (can't hear any on my headphones, but if someone else can, let me know), enhanced "solo", and worked out an ending.

Do. Not. Slack. Link updated, or just click on the SoundCloud link in my signature. EDIT: There are some serious distortion issues, which is what I'm needing help on. I use FLStudio9, so if you're familiar with that and some of the problems...

So phat! Wicked LFO work man. < EDIT: BASSFACE Hey Zeroboros: Muchos thanks for recruiting me when you did... Almost missed the train! This is gon' be fun.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Will work out the clipping issue and get to work on reworking the snare/finishing the tune pronto. I'm glad you folks find it enjoyable! @Hy Bound: For some reason I can't get to your WIP link. Checked out your tunes on MySpace though and I'm definitely interested to hear a dubstep cut... Do you have it hosted anywhere else?

Not sure what the genre is for this, but it's up for a listen on my ->SoundCloud<- page. If I had to label it, I'd say... orchestral IDM downtempo ... f**k it. Techno music.

AAS Lounge Lizard has great Wurli/Rhodes sounds, and Edirol Orchestral has some great brass patches. No guitar, though.

Glad you dig it man! Thanks for the props. That 2nd drop is something I have to work out in post... Had to edit out a nasty glitch there, but until it gets fixed (proper) I'll just call it one hell of a teaser drop Your tunes though... "Convergence" has an awesome techy futuristic feel (which is actually kinda lacking in a lot of neuro lately IMO), and I'm really diggin the smoothness of "Sobriety". But man, "Tread Lightly" is so fucking killer... I rarely hear well-executed drumfunky beats on a stepper, but this is superb. Do not let that one get buried.

When you say that no FX were used, did you mute the FX channels or did you just not apply any plugins to them? On a slightly unrelated tip, you can go to the menu bar and go "Tools>Macros>Switch smart disable for all plugins" to save CPU (disables plugins when they're not being triggered). Things to check for in your project: 1. The mute buttons on mixer tracks (little green dot: on, greyed out: muted). Make sure all of your mixer tracks are on. Obvious, but it couldn't hurt to check. 2. Check to see if "Split Mixer Tracks" is ticked in your export menu...If so, un-tick it. 3. Also in the export menu, make sure the depth/sampling interpolation at high quality. Also make sure "HQ for all plugins" and "Disable max poly" are ticked on. There may be any number of conflicts within your playlist; cross-check the playlist blocks with their respective patterns, and check all your VSTi mute buttons as well. I'm not familiar with the playlist "Live" function, so the only help I can offer is outside of that. Hope this helps.

Listen here. I know the title isn't appropriate for my n00b status on the forum, but "Say Hello" just wouldn't capture the vibe. Hi folks, I'm Aaron. I like to make music and listen to others' creations. I'm the kind of person who can find soul in almost any song (almost), a former elitist fanboy type who would only listen to the "best" music (which a fair deal of, in hindsight, was crap). Nice to get into the forum here, and I'm looking forward to diving in. While I hope you enjoy my first contribution, I'm really hoping to get some constructive feedback. I use FL Studio 9 (been with FL since version 3), and I'm finding that I need a new computer (my projects require lots of memory maintenance). I usually have to test-render to hear bits of songs, and with this one in particular, I'm finding distortion artifacts that I'm pretty sure aren't in the actual project pre-render (right before the drop with the strings I think, and a few times with the voice synth). Thanks in advance for any thoughts, and I'll do my best to reciprocate on listening/feedback/reviews.
